The League (2009)

The show includes an openly gay recurring character who is accepted by the group, alongside storylines that use perceived gay identity and stereotypes for comedic effect. While the humor can be problematic, it aligns with the show's overall irreverent style, resulting in a portrayal that neither strongly affirms nor actively degrades LGBTQ+ identity.

The show frequently uses Jewish stereotypes, particularly through the character of Ruxin, for comedic effect. While the humor is often directed at Ruxin's personal flaws, these are often intertwined with and reinforce common negative stereotypes (e.g., cheapness, neuroticism, overbearing mothers). The narrative does not offer a significant counterbalancing positive portrayal or clearly condemn the bigotry inherent in these stereotypes, instead leveraging them for laughs.
